Huffington Post can run all the damage control it wants with CNN joining in. I saw, I heard and I was quite disappointed. You just don't play down the past or the present happenings of life so easy. There are people that do not forget. God didn't tell man how many times to turn the cheek.

What I find hilarious about comments like this is that it's the very people who are pretending that this "controversy" has shaken their faith in humanity to the core (LOL) who are quick to tell people who were enslaved that they need to "just get over" America's more than 300 year history of racism against blacks.

In the words of Spike Lee "move the F on!" When one of the top the candidates for POTUS is black, and went to an Ivy League school, you cannot say that our country treats blacks unfairly. Or believe that. You especially cannot believe that the goverment created aids to kill black men.

And exactly how long has it taken to for even 1 to get there and be a viable candidate? There have been many, many, many, many, many, many qualified black men AND women who would have made great candidates, but they were denied even the possibility of running, much to this country's shame and even moreso, likely, to its detriment!
Even now, Sen. Obama is often the object of dirty tactics, smears, racial slurs, hate, scorn, ridicule...you name it! There are people who are DETERMINED that no black man (or woman) will EVER hold the highest office in the land or occupy the "white house" (equivalent in their minds to "de BIG HOUSE!"

Who cares how long it took? The point is that it is happening NOW! You cannot cry over yesterday. It is gone. Bye bye.
If you dwell in the past there is no hope for the future.
There are also people who only vote for him or her because of their race or sex. They are equally stupid. You also have Obamas friends rediculing HIllary. You have Obama giving her the finger in public. She (and this pains me to say) gets hated on more than he does on a daily basis.
Remember, HIllary ain't never been called a N____R!

I'm not the one pretending that the words from a political candidate's pastor's seven year-old sermon have shattered my world. You are. So I ask you again, are you speaking from the perspective of someone who has been oppressed in some significant way? And before you ask, not being able to get Hannah Montana tickets does not qualify as hardship, Tangy. ;-x

I can. And I am not black. Blacks forget that they are not the only one oppressed in America. They forget they were not the only ones segregated. - They are just more vocal.
Furthermore they feel they are entitled to the presidency.
And the white elitist voters think that becuase he's black he can "transcend all divides".
The youth just think he's cool becuase being black is cool right now. It's a hip hop nation. Even Madonna has gone hip hop to sell records.
I think he's another unqualified (dubya being the first) yet charasmatic politician who will jsut about say anything to get elected.
Only reason he hasn't been called on his two faced political ways is becuase if the white media does, they are deemed - get this - racists.

"I can. And I am not black."
--So then you CAN'T know precisely what it feels like to be victimized as a black person just as men can't totally understand what it feels like to be a woman and fear being raped.
"Blacks forget that they are not the only one oppressed in America. They forget they were not the only ones segregated."
--How do you know what they forget? Is this a comment that would be acceptable to make about Jews? If not, why not? Because Jews are less "vocal"?FTR, blacks were ENSLAVED by white people. They suffered a little bit more than just segration.

Being pulled over becuase you a Hispanic driving a nice car. Women clutching their purses in elevators. No I have no Idea, and know one else does because you said so.
FYI, Atecs and Mexicans were not only enslaved, but also slaughtered. Check the books.
Maybe they don't forget, but they sure seem to when they get on their soapbox and start complaining about what is due to them because of the past.

"There are also people who only vote for him or her because of their race or sex. They are equally stupid. "
--That's exactly how I feel about anyone who chose to "stay the course" and voted to re-elect Bush in Novemeber '04 when the course was clearly a one way trip down the crapper.

First of all they are not the same. People voting for Bush did so because they thought he was the best man for the job. That does not mean they wanted to stay the course. It means they thought he was the best man for the job. Furthermore, even if they did vote for him just because they thought staying the course was a winning choice (Which seems to be the case btw) it is still not even close to being the same thing as voting for someone based on race or sex.

The only one exploiting the racial divide is wright and anyone who thinks like him or chooses to associate with him.
How does the GOP exploit the racial divide? The last time I checked it was a dem who was getting almost all of the black vote.
